Abstract: For producing thermoplastic pastes filled with ceramic powders and oxidic sintering additives, the thermoplastics are introduced into a mixing section consisting of a plurality of zones. The thermoplastics are melted in a first zone. In the subsequent second zone, the molten plastic is mixed with an added suspension of a ceramic powder in an organic solvent containing dissolved hydrolysable precursor compounds of the oxidic sintering additives, the precursor compound is hydrolysed in the third zone by addition of water, and the solvent and volatile hydrolysis products are distilled off under a reduced pressure in the fourth zone. In the fifth zone, the melt containing the ceramic powder is compressed and extruded. 
<??>The process is suitable for producing thermoplastic pastes filled to the extent of 40 to 80 % by volume with ceramic powders.

Abstract: In a shower head with a housing which can be connected to the water supply and which forms at least one water chamber, and with a floor part with water outlet openings formed from elastic material which downstream are of hose-like design, it is proposed for the sake of improvement, and in particular in order to remove calcium deposits on all the water outlet openings, that in the area of the hose-like end pieces of the water outlet openings a device for optionally vigorously squeezing and/or scraping off of the end pieces on the shower head is provided, the hose-like end pieces being constructed with walls which are as thin as possible. Instead of a particular device, it can also be provided that the protruding hose-like area of the water outlet openings is produced from a material with a material hardness of 20 to 100 Shore so that vigorously squeezing or scraping off of the end pieces can be carried out manually by the user without a special device.

Abstract: A programmable controller comprises an input portion (11) for receiving an input signal from an object of control and a processing unit (72) for performing processing under a control program. The processing unit (72) generates an input information holding signal at the beginning of each scanning cycle. The holding signal causes input holding means (10) interposed between the input portion (11) and the processing unit (72) to hold the input information. This scheme keeps the input information unchanged during each scanning cycle, thus improving the reliability of processing through prevention of processing errors.

Abstract: In the first embodiment, the faceplate coupling ring (D) is of conventional design and includes an axially extending rib (16) with a radially outwardly extending rim (18) and a radially inwardly extending deflectable sealing strip (20). The pouch coupling ring (C') includes inner (32) and outer (34) spaced walls, forming a channel for receiving the rib (16). First (38) and second (40) protrusions extend inwardly from points on the interior surfaces of the walls (32,34) proximate the ends thereof. The first protrusion (38) cooperates with the rim (18) and the second protrusion (40) cooperates with the tip of the sealing strip (20), to securely retain the rib (16) within the channel. The walls (32,34) of the channel have reduced thickness and are easily deflectable as the rib (16) is inserted into the channel, such that coupling of the rings (C',D) is facilitated but decoupling requires the conventional amount of force due to the second protrusion (40). In the second embodiment, the deflectable sealing strip on the faceplate coupling ring is replaced by a rigid flange (46) which cooperates with the second protrusion (40) to substantially increase the decoupling force.

Abstract: In microwave dry etching, the substrate/resist etching selectivity is controlled by adding a material, such as an additional gas, to the reaction gas plasma that heats the substrate with greater energy transfer efficiency than the resist. For example, a W substrate having a resist is etched with an SF₆ reaction gas to which is added an Xe gas for generating incident ions that impinge the substrate with greater energy transfer than with respect to the resist. This produces a greater hot spot temperature for the substrate than the resist to increase the substrate/resist etching selectivity. The hot spot temperature difference can be further effected by applying a bias potential to the substrate during the etching with an RF power supply.
